Elora and surroundings

a panorama picture may not be best for blogger

but my other pictures are on the computer at home

but it worked well for Facebook

Nel and I went by a buggy bridge



bought some tractor shirts for Elijah



In the meantime our boots were drying out at home

Getting wet hiking

a few girls that had wanted to go for a while 

finally could make it, so we went 

we climbed some stiles

followed through fields

stopped at a lookout with a dry picnic table 

but the weather deteriorated, half way between the cars

might as well keep going

first we just got wet

but it rained way more so we got soaked 

but we are still smiling! 

Shower and visit

a shower for Sam

Angie took her daughter along

and I got to hold her

next day we went for a visit

Angie and Emily

she is amazingly strong already

a difficult week in the barn

we have seen the Lely technician way to many times

We had to stop baling prematurely

things went wrong inside the baler and a chain broke

Wheat straw

Rien and I baled some straw

Nel biked to where we baled and took some pictures

first the farm

almost done, we had only 2 small loads

Nel took this one too

there she goes again

Nell arrived

Actually she arrived last Sunday

on Monday we went to 2 falls

we climbed down to Hoggs Falls

asked a girl to take a picture 

took some ourselves

put our feet in the water

Tineke

went to Woodland united church to hear Tineke preach

She must put a lot of time and effort in it,

it showed

It is a very friendly little church

once a month goodies after church

I happened to hit it right

Stained glass windows, clean and clear

the church is 161 years old, Canada is younger

Church in Algonquin

It was not in the flyer, we went anyway but were the only 2

Blueberries and Bears

Lots of Blueberries

Bears are not easy to find

they can hide behind the ferns 

but waiting for a better picture

and a long camera lens

the bear was way more interested in the blueberries

then in us

Algonquin 2 Sunset at Pog-Lake

The first sunset at pog, pretty but not spectacular 

next day was so much rain we didn't expect anything

in fact it was still raining when this glorious sunset started

the sky was full of damp coming off the trees after a very wet day

the next day was a very sunny day

but sunset was kind of disappointing
